[Insight-users] Problems when building ITK based applications in a Visual C++6 environment

[Henry Joye]

Hi, Luis,

Thank you very much for your reply.

As you pointed out, I also want to use CMake to build
the project. But my problem is that I just add a
segmentation module into my existing Inventor based
visualization project. I didnot create a new ITK based
project from beginning. The existing project is a
little large and includes a lot of files and folders.
So I think it is an easy way to add ITK based
segmentation module directly into the existing VC++
project, but not using CMake. 

My problem is whether it is possible to automatically
convert existing VC++ project file to CMake's
CMakeLists.txt files or how to convert the existing
VC++ project file to CMake's CMakelists.tet files. 

I have added /GR compiler option to the project and
the previous warnings disappear. But other problems
appear. I add some including paths as the project
required step by step, e.g.
\INSIGHTTOOLKIT18\UTILITIES\VXL\CORE,\INSIGHTTOOLKIT18\UTILITIES\VXL\VCL,
\ITKBIN\UTILITIES\VXL\CORE, \ITKBIN\UTILITIES\VXL\VCL.
When building the project, the following errors appear
for each file related to ITK:

e:\insighttoolkit18\utilities\vxl\vcl\win32-vc60\vcl_cmath.h(85)
: error C2589: '(' : illegal token on right side of

Would you please tell me how to solve these problems?

Thanks a lot for your help.
